Incorporated Administrative Agencies

“Incorporated Administrative Agency”(IAA) is a type of public-sector corporations established by Act on General Rules for Incorporated Administrative Agencies (1999). IAAs perform parts of administrative functions in particular areas and/or provide the public with services which are considered indispensable to achieve public goals (such as the stability of people’s lives, society, or the economy), and which yet do not require implementation by the Government itself. Also, they are designed to maintain autonomy,dynamism, and transparency, in order that they may pursue more efficiency or higher quality of services on their own responsibilities. Therefore, each IAA, which is founded on an act that stipulates its specific characteristics, generally has the following fundamental designs.

- IAAs are classified into three types of organization; an Agency Managed under the Medium-term Objectives, a National Research and Development Agency and an Agency Engaged in Administrative Execution. - An IAA’s own responsibility and decision-making authority are separated from those of its competent Minister. - The Minister gives goals and ex-post evaluations for IAAs. The goal periods are different depending on the type of organization. - An IAA has sufficient discretion in performing to achieve its goals, and direct interventions by the Minister are limited to cases when absolutely necessary or listed in acts. - Activities and structures of each IAA are reviewed at regular intervals at the end of each goal period. - The accounting of an IAA is to be based on corporate accounting principles as a general rule. Also, broad range of its information must be disclosed in accordance with related acts.
